...lots of generalized theories in psychology that, once you dig into the data, are based on the self-reporting or volunteer testing...

One person with ideological biases complains about another group who does more science than her, but is also known to be rife with ideological biases.

It’s all sour grapes for me when it comes to Ahsoka. I appreciate the fan fervor, but if we can’t have Jyn Erso because she wasn’t seen or mentioned in the original trilogy, then Ahsoka should have met the same fate. It’s not fair that she gets to survive solely because of her creator’s position in the company.

I think so?  It’s so hard to tell anymore.

The writers and commenters hwre are very hypocritical.

So you’re saying they thought Aloy should’ve been Aboy?

When it comes to ND, the plot, while simple, is an integral part of the package. The gameplay alone would never be enough to make me sit through one of their games - not since the first Uncharted, at least.

Uh oh, I hope I don’t get spoiled. I would hate to learn in advance that humans are the REAL monsters.

There’s a very contrarian bent when it comes to Star Wars in certain places, especially here.

Star Wars films can never be accused of being great art, but they shouldn’t be boring. TLJ was dull as hell.

I’ve always loved the Lynch version, while also knowing it was a bad adaptation. He just had too much of an avant-garde style for the project. It will be loved by some, but not appealing to all. It’d be like Tim Burton doing a Captain America movie.

I find it funny how people blame JJ and Disney for undermining Johnson when he did it first by tossing JJ’s plan out the window the first chance he got.

I remember a right-wing backlash to Rogue One, because of a leading women in the lead role and many minorities in supporting roles. It was real, but small.

“With “The Last Jedi” and “The Force Awakens”, it seemed like right wing chuds took issue with the idea of non-white men being important or good at anything, and so much of the criticism seemed to work backward from that.”

I’m not a huge fan of TLJ either. The stuff with Rey and Luke is great, the rest is merely so-so. Instead of having the Resistance stuck in a boring chase story, the B-plot should’ve been about Leia going around the galaxy rallying support against the First Order. Instead we got a rehash of the “33" episode of BSG 2.0,…

And right this minute, $4.99 on my Kindle.

Yeah, THAT scene is what haunted me after watching the film... especially since, in the form of Canary witnessing the (genuinely heinous) harassment and reacting to it, the woman would (unknowingly, but still karmicly) get justice and vindication.

I 100% thought that would be the scene in question.

This is the scene I thought they were going to talk about.

How was that more upsetting than the girl being strung upside down with her family and getting her face cut off after Roman toys with her fear by giving her false hope that he’ll let her go?
